Summary

Binance has added Anchorage Digital’s Atlas platform to its triparty banking program, giving eligible institutional and professional traders another option to post collateral outside the exchange while executing trades on Binance. The setup lets clients pledge assets with Anchorage, a federally chartered crypto bank supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, instead of prefunding Binance accounts directly. Binance said eligible collateral can include crypto, cash and cash equivalents, yield-bearing U.S. dollar accounts and some tokenized real-world assets, with BlackRock’s BUIDL, Circle’s USYC and Franklin Templeton’s iBENJI cited as examples subject to eligibility requirements. The move extends a model Binance launched in November 2023 as institutions push for a clearer separation between custody and execution after the 2022 collapse of FTX exposed the risks of combining both functions at one venue.
